At the car, I gingerly set her down, keeping a secure hook around her tiny waist as I unlocked the door.
“Darius?”
I glanced down at the dark head nestled against my chest. “Yeah?”
Her back lifted with her deep inhale. “You smell so good. Am I allowed to say that?”
Despite myself, I gave a short chuckle. “I don’t know. I honestly don’t know much of anything tonight.”
Her face turned into the hollow between my pecs, and all my humor vanished. “I want it all over my skin.”
She’s drunk,I told myself as I yanked open the door, needing to get her out of my arms and at a safe distance.
“Okay, baby, watch your head.”
I helped her slide into the seat, made sure her legs and hands were tucked in and her belt was secure before closing her in. I took the long way around the back of the car, needing the few extra seconds to will my brain back into focus.
Kami had her eyes closed, head tilted back when I got in behind the wheel. Her fingers were limp and palms up in her lap. Her thighs had just enough gap between them to fit a man’s hand easily.
I started the car and pulled into traffic.
“Darius?”
“Yeah?”
Her eyes glowed in the streetlights as she turned her head to me in the shadows. “I’m cold.”
My hand immediately reached for the dial only to be stopped by hers shooting out of the darkness and capturing it. I wasn’t fast enough — or maybe strong enough — to stop her when she clasped it tight between both of hers and drew it between her thighs.
“Shit,” I breathed, my sharp inhale stuck in my chest. “What are you doing?”
“I don’t know,” her quiet confession was worse than if she’d come out and said she wanted me to touch her.
“We should stop.”
Yet my hand stayed on her thigh. My fingers remained curled loosely around the warm, supple flesh, inches from where I could feel the heat radiating from her.
“I’ve tried all night,” she murmured tightly. “I’ve been so wet. My panties were soaked.”
“Fuck!”
I slammed on the brakes, narrowly missing the red light. The car screeched to a halt. A group of howling bar-hoppers hooted and hollered their way across the crosswalk, waving foam fingers and neon, feather boas. There was no rhyme or reason behind their costumes, but I couldn’t give a shit when Kami was practically vibrating under my palm and her words were bouncing off the walls of my skull.
“You’re drunk,” I told us both firmly. “You don’t know what you’re—”
“You don’t want me?”
I squeezed my eyes closed tight at the shattered little whisper coming from the woman beside me. It was all I could do to keep from dragging her hand into my lap and showing her the rock-hard evidence of just how badly I fucking wanted her.
“Not when you’re too drunk to know what you’re saying,” I countered, feeling pretty good about myself for coming up with such a logical explanation.
It seemed to work.
She asked no follow up questions, didn’t say another word as we drove the rest of the way to the Alexander. She didn’t even seem to notice I never took my hand off her.
In my designated parking spot in the underground parking, I killed the engine and turned to the sleeping woman who wielded all the power to destroy my world. Her chest rose and fell with every gentle breath. A stray coil of hair had slid over her shoulder and hung protectively across her left breast. I had to fight all my demons to keep from hooking the strand with a finger and slipping it free.
“God, kitten,” I whispered, giving myself a split second to stroke her inner thigh with the pad of my thumb. “You make me so fucking hard.”
